Unity Hospital of Rochester Outpatient Addiction Services
Located at 2000 Winton Road South, Unity Hospital of Rochester’s Outpatient Clinic 1 provides accessible and comprehensive addiction treatment services tailored to individual needs. Recognizing that recovery is a highly personal journey, the program emphasizes a holistic approach, integrating medical oversight with robust therapeutic modalities. This outpatient setting allows patients to receive essential care while maintaining their daily responsibilities, offering a balance of structure and independence critical for long-term success.
Personalized Treatment Planning
A core element of the Unity Hospital program is the creation of personalized treatment plans. Upon admission, each patient undergoes a thorough assessment to determine the severity of the substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health issues, and specific life circumstances. This individualized approach ensures that the care received is clinically appropriate and addresses the root causes of addiction.
Therapeutic Modalities
The clinic offers a range of evidence-based therapies, facilitated by experienced and licensed clinicians, designed to equip individuals with the tools necessary for sustained sobriety. These modalities focus on changing destructive thought patterns and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training
- Individual and Group Counseling
- Relapse Prevention Planning
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol dependence
Focus on Dual Diagnosis Care
Many individuals struggling with addiction also have co-occurring mental health disorders (dual diagnosis). The program at Unity Hospital is equipped to treat both conditions concurrently, which is vital for achieving stable recovery. By treating the whole person – addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health issues alongside substance use – the chances of successful outcomes are significantly increased. The integration of psychiatric services ensures seamless coordination of care.
Aftercare and Community Support
Sustaining recovery post-treatment is heavily reliant on a strong support system. Unity Hospital places significant emphasis on preparing patients for life after their formal program concludes. This preparation includes comprehensive discharge planning, connecting patients with local support groups (like 12-step programs), and linking them to ongoing individual therapy or specialized support services within the Rochester community. The goal is to establish a foundation that promotes long-term wellness and prevents relapse.
